Trope Chicago: The Loop and Beyond - (Trope City Editions) by Sam Landers & Michelle Fitzgerald (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Trope Chicago: The Loop and Beyond, the eighth volume in the Trope City Editions series, celebrates the architecture, public artwork, and everyday beauty of Chicago.

The collection highlights the photographic images of a group of talented photographers from Chicago and beyond who showcase the city in a new and exciting light.

This carefully curated and bound collection of over 200 previously unpublished photographs offers a new perspective on Chicago. Each chapter is accompanied by a map, along with the locations where the photos were taken. Going beyond the typical tourist attractions, Trope Chicago: The Loop and Beyond is a new exploration of the city that takes readers beyond Chicago's landmarks to give an insider's view of the city, highlighting the neighborhoods, streets, and locations that mark the day-to-day Chicago experience.

Including photographs from all corners of the city, including Logan Square, Uptown, Hyde Park, Pilsen, Bronzeville, Streeterville, and Lincoln Park, these images command a strong point of view: digitally processed, filtered, toned, de-saturated, sharpened, for a very urban sensibility.

Showcasing both the architectural significance and everyday beauty of contemporary Chicago, the images reveal distinctive and dramatic visions of one of the world's greatest cities.
